why is obama waging war on coal? >> i think he's being driven by an extreme environment by an lobby he doesn't like coal, he said if you build a coal plant, we're going to bankrupt you and he's following through on his promise. >> that means we will not have another new coal plant in our lifetime. that's the way experts have said it, that they'll never be able to get done what the epa wants to get done so there will be no new coal mines. >> so we're shutting out our most affordable, abundant resource. my state of west virginia will lose a lot and has lost a lot. >> a lot of states too. i get that, but what about the existing coal mines, shelley? tell me about that because the epa is writing regulations now and a lot of people from that industry say basically they're going to have shut down even existing coal plants. >> the permitting process has slowed to a crawl and it's through the regulations of the epa and they put in impossible deadlines and impossible benchmarks to meet and at the same time you've got the distr

obama has had a terrible foreign policy. there is no guiding principle, no dismaking matrix from which you can guess why we were leading from behind in libya. we were holding on to mubarak until we knew he was going to go in egypt. he is a terrible foreign policy guy. mitt romney is an echo. pro-choice. he wants to spend more on defense than obama is committed to. we don't know why and don't know to what end. i think obama will come out. 58% of americans in a rasmussen poll says americans should be getting out of the middle east. they're tired of it. if mitt romney is merely saying obama is terrible there, people will agree with him. okay, what's your plan? we don't know what he's doing on the economy and foreign policy. >> let me go to igar and give you a chance to respond. you are old enough to remember jimmy carter. things in iran didn't work out so great for jimmy carter. look, i think president obama is actually saying some good things. he's trying to get tough on these terrorists. i think he understands they're linked

obama wants even more spending increases. and a lot of republicans, conservatives, are saying you know what? we don't want a tax hike at all. we give boehner credit but we don't want a tax hike. this is not the time. it's a very anemic economy. let's just let the democrats have their tax hike and we'll be done with it. other than that, jimmy, i don't think this thing gets done. that's what i'm coming around to. >> well, i think that there's a chance to that. a chance for that to happen in the scenario that you just described. but i don't think that is what happens. frankly, i think with the vice president saying today that the issue of whether the top rate is 39.6 or 37 it's really doesn't matter. that was a huge olive branch as our colleague just said. this is a signal, a smoke signal like a vatican smoke signal sent from the administration to speaker boehner today. >> but that's been out there before. >> i understand that. >> there's only a handful of republicans, what are you going to get, a percentage point? mark seimone,

in the first term, president obama on the stimulus package and on obama care, there was no compromise. there was no reaching across the aisle. do you believe, sir, that in the second term president obama will change and will find common ground with republicans? >> well, larry, i'm an optimist. i believe that you need to give people a chance, you need to tell them you support them and then you need to hold them accountable. that's why i felt that i needed to send that message off to the president and to my representatives, really telling them that time is now. we can't wait any longer. we've got to do something. i'll support you, but i'll also hold you accountable and watch that it's happening. >> i want to have the same positive view you do, second term, clean slate, et cetera, et cetera. so when he read your letter with your very clear message about compromise and common ground between the two parties, do you think, steve, that he was sending a message -- sometimes presidents speak metaphorically, sometimes they speak symbol symbolically. do you think he was sending that message to t

barack obama is my liberal tonight. he wants performance reform, so does arne duncan, why are all your left wing teacher union friends in chicago bucking their guy from chicago, obama, who actually, and i'm going say it, got this story right? >> well, i think they're reacting because obama's been spending a little too much time with the hedge fund managers and not with the teachers who are in the classroom every day. teachers want to have accountability. that's not the question. the question is are we going to have a fair system accountability? in places like montgomery county maryland, they have a great system where they go into the classroom and evaluate their peers and they recommend a lot of their peers get fired if they're not up to the job. why shouldn't they get fired? if i'm not up to my job i'm going get fired. if you're not up to your job you're going get fired. if teachers are not up to their job with statistical performance and testing why shouldn't they get fired? >> you're not listening to me. i said they
